Title: Animation production system
Inventor: Hariharan Subramonyam
IPC: G06T13/20
Filed: 2019-05-31
Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to a streamlined animation production workflow system 128 that integrates script drafting 134, performance and editing. A script including animation events 132 is parsed through script parser 102 to encode the animation events into nodes of a story model 110. The animation events are automatically triggered by a performance as a playhead advances through the story model and identifies active node(s). A command interface 108 accepts various commands that allow a performer to act as a director by controlling recording and playback. Recording binds a generated animation event to each active node. Playback triggers generated animation events for active nodes. An animated movie is assembled from the generated animation events in the story model. The animated movie 126 can be presented as a live preview to provide feedback co the performer, and a teleprompter interface can guide a performer by presenting and advancing the script to follow the performance. A second aspect of the invention comprises a computer storage media to perform animation operations to advance through the story model. A third aspect is a computer system comprising hardware processors, a teleprompter interface and a text aligner for use within script performance.

Inventor: GENBAO SHI
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 2020-02-14
Abstract: A reservoir model for values of a formation property is simulated using a turning bands method with distributed computing. A distributed computing system simulates the reservoir on separate machines in parallel in several stages. First, line distributions are simulated independently on turning bands. The reservoir model is partitioned into tiles and unconditional simulations are run on each tile in parallel using the corresponding simulated turning bands. The unconditional simulations within each tile are conditioned on known formation values to generate conditional simulations. Conditional simulations are aggregated across tiles to create the simulated reservoir model.
